I would like to know if there is something special that should be done with pending PRs. For example is it ok to just change the Responsible part to say freebsd-bugs? Should I also change the category from pending to something better? In case I should, how do I do that: 1 using edit-pr or 2 'mv pending/PRnr new_cat/PRnr' in /c/gnats? BTW there is no charter for this list on http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/eresources.html and the list is missing on the search page. /Johan K johan@freebsd.org -- Johan Karlsson mailto:k@numeri.campus.luth.se To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-bugbusters" in the body of the message From owner-freebsd-bugbusters Thu May 2 10:24:27 2002 Delivered-To: freebsd-bugbusters@freebsd.org Received: from thuvia.demon.co.uk (thuvia.demon.co.uk [193.237.34.248]) by hub.freebsd.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id 925AB37B400 for ; Thu, 2 May 2002 10:24:22 -0700 (PDT) Received: from dotar.thuvia.org (dotar.thuvia.org [10.0.0.4]) by phaidor.thuvia.org (8.11.6/8.11.6) with ESMTP id g42HOKg50199; Thu, 2 May 2002 18:24:20 +0100 (BST) (envelope-from mark@thuvia.demon.co.uk) Received: (from mark@localhost) by dotar.thuvia.org (8.11.6/8.11.6) id g42HOJh83266; Thu, 2 May 2002 18:24:19 +0100 (BST) (envelope-from mark) Date: Thu, 2 May 2002 18:24:19 +0100 (BST) From: Mark Valentine Message-Id: <200205021724.g42HOJh83266@dotar.thuvia.org> In-Reply-To: Johan Karlsson's message of May 2, 1:10am X-Mailer: Mail User's Shell (7.2.6 beta(5) 10/07/98) To: k@numeri.campus.luth.se (Johan Karlsson), freebsd-bugbusters@freebsd.org Subject: Re: pending PRs: what to do?

Bravo! > I would like to know if there is something special that > should be done with pending PRs. For example is it ok > to just change the Responsible part to say freebsd-bugs? By default, yes. If you happen to know who's responsible in a given area, all the better (there are various ways to find out if you recognise the area of code involved; look for a maintainer, recent/frequent committer, ask someone showing knowledge in the area from archive postings, etc.). Also consider whether to assign to -ports, -doc, -standards and so on. > Should I also change the category from pending to something better? Yes, please. Nothing should be left in pending. > In case I should, how do I do that: > 1 using edit-pr or > 2 'mv pending/PRnr new_cat/PRnr' in /c/gnats? Always edit-pr. Manual database tweaks should be left to gnats-admin. When edit-pr asks for a reason for changing this stuff, "Misfiled PR" is usually adequate. Actually this is a common enough task that a quick scripted alternative would be nice. (It's been on my list for years...) Ditto for other common state changes. I'm assuming here that gnats-admin doesn't have an exclusive policy on handling mis-filed PRs. Is this the case? > BTW there is no charter for this list on > http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/eresources.html > and the list is missing on the search page. It also seems extremely quiet on this list (I joined up last week). I thought maybe just the archives might have been disconnected at first. I offered to try to distill the common wisdom on GNATS policy for the project into a guide for bugbusters, but got no interest. Isn't this the right forum?
